Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Mauldin, SC.

Detoxification is the first stage of quitting drugs, and you could decide to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detox center for several reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Mauldin offers medically supervised detoxification services, which is carried out with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example may need specific medications during detox to prevent seizures that are common with serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to take part in medical detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are used to ease them through a very uncomfortable (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. People in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility stay at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have gone away. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are detoxing from and their overall health.

For an individual who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol treatment program to handle their addiction due to the fact that detox is not rehabilitation in itself.
